Feb. 28th, 2004 08:24 pmYou know why I hate Interview With a Vampire the movie? Because I *hate* Antionio Bandaras as Armand. AB is not a beautiful 15/17 year old looking boy. He's like a 35 year old man with a Spanish accent. The fucking vampire is French, yo. So I hate, hate, hate the casting, but it would have all been okay if LOUIS HAD FUCKING KISSED ARMAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dude, what was *up* with that whole fake out thing? It's the gayest movie outside of gay porn, and there's no kissing.
Oh. And Tom Cruise is Lestate. I think Cary Elwes shoulda been.
What?
And what was Anne Rice's point supposed to have been, anyway? That Louis had no problems moving through the ages because he was the most human? That continuing to angst about every little thing meant you could go to the movies without freaking out? That even though his passion was spent, something human remained, whereas Lestate and Armand and the rest had no idea how to relate anymore? What? I don't get it? I mean, obviously she dropped whatever she was trying to do when she fell in love with Lestate, but what was it in the first place?
Maybe I need to reread the book.
Reporter!Lex will be posted tonight or tomorrow.
